Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 1 size. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis.
- Gauge isn’t that important for this tutorial.

Techniques You Will Need
Crocheting In The Back Loop
In this crochet pattern you need to know how to crochet in the back loop only.
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
These stitches are abbreviated with BL in front of their regular abbreviation.
Instructions for the Crochet Doormat
Ch 45 st with CA.
Row 1 with CA: Hdc in the 4th st from hook (1st 2 st counts as 1st hdc, 3rd st counts as last ch on ch row), hdc 1 in each ch , turn (=43 st).
Row 2 with CA: Ch 2 st (counts as 1st BLhdc), BLhdc 1 in each st from previous row, turn (=43 st).
Rows 3-4 with CB: Repeat row 2.
Rows 5-6 with CA: Repeat row 2.
Row 7-26: Repeat rows 3-6 with colors alternating respectively.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
If you do feel it might turn out slippery, please add some liquid “sock stop” on the wrong side of the rug. Alternatively lay a anti slippery mat underneath.
